Well guys im nearly 5 wks post op and im starting to break down and cry very easily. I know i have read on here that so do end up real emotional and i think im going through that right now. Last night i broke down and told my partner i can't do this anymore and i wish i never got this done, im not trying to scare anyone away from this surgery but last night my rib pain was so bad i just needed to relax more.
Although my back pain is pretty good im on hardly any pain meds only for when my rib pain is bad, and it doesn't help the fact that here in Australia its winter and its really cold so my pain is probably worse in the cold. I am suffering a set back as the end of my incision on my back still is weeping and blistered in a big bubble but the Blood tests shows no sign of infection so its a wait and see situation which is really annoying since when i turn on my back the blister stings cos i knock it.
All i would like to know from anyone who has had the Anterior part done, how long does it take for your rib pain to get better and for your stomach to feel normal again????
Also i would like to let everyone know this recovery process has its up's and downs as some days you feel like your getting better and the next your back to square one, i find its because i over do it and the next day it catches up with me. But i have to realize im only 5 wks post op.....
Sorry for the long post but i really needed to get this all out!!!!!
Regards,
Lee
